Comments	Went diving with Beach Hopper II on two different occaisions, each offered very different diving experiences. In February, the diving had lots of beautiful kelp forests, great seal encounters, tons of beautiful strawberry anemonies, lots of large orange and yellow nudibranchs, starfish, cabezon, and schools of seabass. In September, we saw beautiful fields of metridium anemonies, one sighting of a huge bat ray, a variety of rockfish, and lots of wonderful invertebrate life including fascinating dives with plentiful decorator crabs which were very lively and entertaining to watch. Both dive experiences offered healthy marine environments and great video and photo opportunities. Wonderful between dive snacks, and tons of help with fins and equipment including cameras. Wintertime diving obviously is helped by using a drysuit, but many divers were comfortable in September just using a 7 mil wetsuit. I used my drysuit for both occaisions. Had a great time, will definately return!
